Answer:

<em>vf=79.38 m/s</em>

<em>y= 321.5 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

A free-falling object falls under the exclusive influence of gravity. Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is g = 9.8 m/s^2.

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The distance traveled by a dropped object is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

1.

The penny will fall for t=8.1 s before hitting the ground, thus the height from which it was dropped is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{9.8\cdot 8.1^2}{2}

y= 321.5 m

2.

The final velocity is:

vf=9.8\cdot 8.1

vf=79.38 m/s

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

All the rest of the information is extraneous. The only 2 things you have to know are

d = 20 km

t = 8 minutes = 8/60 hours = 0.13333333

So the speed is s = d/t

s = 20/0.1333333 = 150 km/hour

Note: you have not specified what units the speed is. I suppose you could answer 20/8 = 2.5 km/min

What is the formula for lithium and chlorine?
siniylev [52]
LiCl, because lithium (Li) has one positively charged ion (1+), and
chloride (Cl) has one negatively charged ion (1-), so they
cancel each other out.

A 1500kg car double its speed from 50km/h to 100km/h. By how many times does the kinetic energy from the car's forward motion in
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Inital KE = (1/2) m v^2 = (1/2) * 1500 * 50^2 = 1,875,000 J  

Final KE = (1/2) * 1500 * 100^2 = 7,500,000 J  

But  ,

4 * 1875000 = 7500000

so the KE has increased by 4 times.

A 3.5-kg object placed on an inclined plane (angle 30? above the horizontal) is connected by a string going over a pulley to a 1
Blababa [14]

Answer:

a= 0.22 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

M = 3.5 kg

θ = 30°

m = 1 kg

μ= 0.3

The force due to gravity

F₁= M g sinθ

F₁=3.5 x 10 x sin 30

F₁= 17.5 N

F₂ = m g

F₂ = 1 x 10 = 10 N

The maximum value of the friction force on the incline plane

Fr = μ M g cosθ

Fr = 0.3 x 2.5 x 10 cos30°

Fr= 6.49 N

Lets take acceleration of the system is a  m/s²

F₁ - F₂  - Fr =  (M+m) a

17.5 - 10 - 6.49 = (3.5+1)a

a= 0.22 m/s²
